Tactical Squad Chronos Update and Weekend Plans

Progress so far. Some shoulder pads finished and helmets
done

A quick progress report on what I've done the last few days. My army is not going to be ready for the escalation league play at Comics Plus unfortunately, but I will bring what units I have done and make it work with that. With my full time job in full swing now, I can only paint for a few hours each day, so the going has been slow. I still think I can finish at least the this tac squad though before Sunday.

I had to switch from spray painting the insignia to
hand painting them. I was having so many problems with the spray paint, mainly from the humidity I believe, I gave it up for hand painting. Citadel's white paint is notoriously bad, but I have gotten better with it.

The Sergeant's insignia came out pretty well. Here you can see the detail on the combi flamer as well.

Decent insignia for hand painting

I have finished this Marine's purity seal since I took this picture.

Working on the power packs

This weekend I am going to go down to Macon with my brother again to play in the escalation league. Currently the total is up to 1500 pts, which I am not close too, but with his Fists and a completed Tac squad I could max out at maybe 1100 or more. I am heading down Friday night, and my brother and I will spend all Saturday painting, so I aim to maybe finish the captain as well, which would be a lot of points. I also am going to bring my scouts down with me, which although I haven't started them yet I may be able to finish them quickly since they have little armor compared to the Space Marines. I will have progress updates on any units I finish this weekend, as well as another battle report from Sunday's fighting. Whatever you're working on this weekend, keep painting and don't give up!
